Index

英国文学源远流长，从8世纪的英雄史诗《贝尔沃夫》起始，其灿烂历史一直延续到20世纪60年代后期，在世界文学和文化史上有极其深刻的影响。英国人有理由为自己的文学成就感到自豪，因为他们在文学的各个领域中都拥有如此众多的世界级作家。莎士比亚的戏剧，培根的散文，华滋华斯的诗歌，狄更斯的小说，均为世界文学宝库中璀璨耀眼的明珠。70年代以后，英国文学虽然不再有往日的辉煌，但是，有影响的力作还是不少的。一些早有建树的老作家，如剧作家哈罗德·品特、小说家威廉·戈尔丁、女作家陶丽丝·莱辛，80年代后都不断有佳作问世。新一代剧作家中，汤姆·斯托帕德、卡莉·丘吉尔都有令世人瞩目的成就。. 本书意欲带..
